I am a Doctoral Student and part-time Project Officer at UNSW's School of Population health. I have over 5 years of experience in research, collaborating on diverse research projects in both hospital and community settings. 

After 6 years of clinical experience in surgical and intensive care nursing, I began work as a Clinical Research Nurse at the Princess Alexandra Hospital ICU. In this role, I conducted a variety of nursing-led studies focused on improving patient care. Whilst working here I completed a Dual Master of Public Health and Health Management at the University of New South Wales.

In 2020 I commenced work at UNSW, working on several projects at both the School of Population Health and the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre focused on child injury prevention, child protection, and e-cigarette prevalence and harms. 

In June 2021 I commenced my Ph.D. at the UNSW School of Population Health and was awarded a Scholarship from the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre. My Ph.D. research will use epidemiological methods and leverage a multi-jurisdictional electronic cohort (e-cohort) study of Australian children to study child maltreatment amongst children with parents who have substance use problems. 

My research interests lie in epidemiology, non-communicable diseases, social determinants of health, and children's and women’s health.
